The Malicious Monocle

Hanuman Langur looked up and gave Rhesus an apologetic smile as he waved her towards a door in the back of his stall. Rhesus tried to get a hint as to what awaited her on the other side of the door from Hanuman’s face. He wouldn’t meet her eyes, telling her that whatever was on the other side of the door was something or someone she didn’t want to meet.

Rhesus stopped at the door to take a deep breath. For a moment she considered knocking, but with a shake of her head she discarded that idea. Squaring her shoulders, she grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.
